And TV will put them wherever they’d like anyway. And the early kickoffs are not specifically wanting noon games, just as said above a desire to have less drunks on campus for longer periods of time, and the trash situation that got so much attention a few years ago.

That, and the long running “Folks from South Georgia can’t drive all through the night after a game” reason for us not wanting night games. And if you aren’t having night games, and CBS demanded no other SEC games interfere with 3:30, what options remained for you to whine bullshit about?

First of all, the CBS exclusivity window doesn’t exist anymore. Second, any school can come up with a bunch of excuses for why they “need” early games, just like we have. The fact is that we want them and other schools don’t. And again, we absolutely ask for them.

As for how much effect our pleas have…well, in this example, we got stuck in the noon slot before they’ve even decided on the 4 and 7:30 games. And we’re competing against Indiana at Missouri and Northern Illinois at Arkansas for those spots (a couple of real marquee matchups).

Hooray for continuing to ruin the gameday atmosphere in Athens! Bring on low attendance so that we can blame everything on the students only caring about texting, social media, and video games!

I’ve tried to get my wife to watch that show. She won’t because she thinks it’s just another one of my tricks to try to get her to cook. But every now and then between Mixed Martial Arts and When Animals Attack, I still watch it because who doesn’t love the scent of a good-looking gluten-free Malibu Barbie Cupcake, Hooah!

Vandy tweeted that our Sept. 6 vs. Ole Miss will be on the ESPN family at some to-be-determined time. I think you can bet the farm that the Georgia- Carolina game will be CBS’ game on Sept. 13, while the Alabama-Florida game will be the CBS game on the 20th. I believe LSU-Mississippi State and Vandy-South Carolina are on the 20th, as well — I can see ESPN taking the LSU game and us filling one of the two “TBD” slots on the SEC Network.

“Give them credit, but I think everybody can see that Georgia’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. I’m very proud of this team and this university, and we’re not going anywhere.’ — Kirby Smart, AJ-C, 1/9/18
